Hot summer, it`s Monica`s favorite season of the year, there are holidays, there are beaches and seafood!
Melbourne is rich in seafood, it is November, is a good time to eat seafood.
Crab meat fresh sweet and elastic, crab yellow plump and fat. Pipi nutritional value is extremely high, stews full of flavor.
How can we live up to the gifts of nature when we are just in time? At this time of the year, Lao Mo likes to go to the seaside with friends and take away his gadgets.
Grab it! Whoo! Crab!
But what hidden gadgets do you need to bring?
Fishing certificate
If you catch seafood in Australia, you will be fined without a fishing license.
There are four cards to choose from, with a minimum of $10
The way to buy a fishing license is simple, and friends can apply and buy it online: https://vfa.vic.gov.au/recreational-fishing/fishing-licence#
Tools (available in local supermarkets and fishing gear stores):
A sturdy web: Crab Net. for crabs
Nylon rope: used to tie to the crab net, can extend the net distance, so that it is easier to catch crabs ~
Gloves: prevent your hand from being scratched by the net when you draw the net. You can buy a strong glove to protect yourself.
Bucket or Insulation: buckets or thermos not only keep PiPi and crabs fresh, but also keep them alive a little longer. And catch PIPI or Crab and put them in a bucket to spit sand. Let them spit the sand clean and eat more delicious.
Sunglasses and sunscreen: sun on the beach! Boys, do a good job of sunscreen.
Chicken skeleton: cheaper crab bait, squid or shrimp. The chicken skeleton can be tied to the Internet with a small rope.
Tips: can only use 2 nets per certificate, each net can only be installed 30 or 1litre Crab, catch small crabs must be put back to the sea oh; PiPi, each fishing license can only catch 2 litre, if caught small PiPi, must be buried back oh.
GPS
It`s easy to get lost without GPS, especially the way to Venus Bay, so it`s easy to get lost. So it is best to choose professional GPS equipment, and update the latest route before departure.
The question is, where can I catch crabs?
Lakes Entrance
Lakes Entrance, a very developed fishing town.
And has many camping parks or forest, is a recognized resort.
Not only that, but it`s a crabs shrine, especially Bullock Island`s Sandblasting wharf.
Unique current direction makes the crabs here, fishing products are very rich, there is a great chance of catching super many crabs oh.
Tips:
1. Crabs will be easier to catch before high tide, so the general time to catch crabs is 6 pm-8 pm, before departure can take a look at the tide ebb time of the day oh. Grab PIPI time to pick a low tide time to dig, just dig on the beach with your hand, you can easily dig.
Tidal links:

2. If you want to catch crabs, you should find a relatively few rocks, a relatively open place to net, otherwise the stone will hang the crab net, the speed of the net must be fast
3. Can consider chartering a boat to go out to sea, have the opportunity to catch more seafood oh. Lao Mo has sorted out two ways of chartering ships out of the sea:
Chartering a boat, half-cabin, can accommodate eight people. Generally, the first hour is $40, and the time that follows is $30 per hour. Because the boat is too small to go far away, it is more fun to be able to sail.
Charter a large ship out to sea. Some of the friends said they negotiated with the steward who chartered the boat and finally rented BBQ BOAT. for less than $100 per hour. It took only two hours to catch the super-many crabs back. Interested friends can ask where they rent their own boats.
Distance: 315km, about four hours from CBD
Although you can take the public transport, but the transfer is too troublesome, Lao Mo suggested that the baby with a car to go oh
Venus Bay
Venus Bay is also a popular resort in Melbourne, and people flock to the streets near Phillip Island and Wilsons Promontory,.
Venus Bay has five bay, and each bay is unique:
Bay 1: it`s one of the hottest beaches and a great little park for picnics. There are the most PiPi, here, almost 50% of the PiPi are here. It`s safer than several other Bay, with patrols keeping order and bathrooms.
Bay 5: the water is relatively smooth, suitable for swimming and surfing, and has bathrooms. The most attractive thing about this beach is that dogs are allowed ~
The remaining three Bay Mo is not very recommended, interested friends can search for their own.
Mo likes to catch up on the beach in Venus Bay when PiPi, doesn`t recede, and PIPI is hiding in deep underwater sand, and sometimes he sees people digging with their feet. After the ebb tide, you can find PIPI on the beach and dig about 5 to 10 centimeters under the sand. Every time you find a lot of it, you will find a lot of it.
Distance: 150 km, about 2 hours from CBD
Lao Mo first wish everyone fun ~ but remember, do not dig too much oh, strictly in accordance with the standard to dig.
